Chapter 776: Fierce Battle in Merge States (I)
After a while, Xu Kang ran out with a frightened look on his face and shouted.
"Oh no!! Big brother, my mother wants to hang herself in the beams! I can't stop it, big brother come in quickly!! ”
When Xu Shu heard this, his face changed greatly, he was at a loss, and when he panicked to save him, he saw that Xu's mother was already hanging high. Xu Shunai is a filial son, his father died early, and he was raised by Xu's mother since he was a child. For a while, Xu Shu felt that his head was all blown up, and hurriedly rushed to support him, and after saving Xu's mother, Xu's mother struggled again and wanted to hang herself. Xu Shu knelt on the ground and wept.
"Mother scares the child! The children are all paid by the mother, and the mother's order, how dare the child disobey! The kindness of the Xu family, the children should go to the soup and the fire, and repay it with their liver and brain! ”
After Xu Mu heard this, her anger faded slightly, and she commanded Xu Shu.
"The champion Hou is the lord of the people, although I am a woman, but I also know that the court is no longer used by the Han family, and it is controlled by traitors. My son is full of talent, if he can't ask for the people's life and save him from all difficulties, what is the use of learning? I look at the champion Hou as if he overthrew the ancestor of the tyrannical Qin in the past, such a virtuous lord actually favored my son, how could my son not go!? ”
In order to appease his mother's heart, Xu Shu agreed at the moment, but in fact, he was not loyal to Wen Hansheng in his heart. After all, hearing is false, seeing is believing, whether Wen Han is a thief in troubled times or a sage who determines the country and security, Xu Shu has not personally determined, and he will never vote loyally. Even if his mother is forced to do so, he will only pretend to be in detail, but he will not make a plan.
But after all, the Xu family is highly favored, and now, as his mother said, once Cao Cao's soldiers and horses come to the northwest, the people of the northwest will be wiped out. Later, Xu Shu was introduced by Xu Kang, said goodbye to Xilong, and made a gentleman's agreement with him. Xu Shu is willing to give advice for this northwest difficulty, but only this time, it is all to repay the kindness and save the people. After that, whether he wants to join Wen Han or not, he still needs to meet Wen Han in the future before making a decision. Xi Long was overjoyed when he heard this, and he should have sent Xu Shu to Bingzhou to temporarily take over the post of military division of Bingzhou to assist Gao Shun. Xu Shu packed up on the same day, and after saying goodbye to his mother, he hurried to Bingzhou overnight.
It is said that at this time, Gao Shun had led Xu Shu to the hall of the county government of Bingzhou, Xu Shu, Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er, Pei Yuanshao and others entered the table one after another, and everyone sat down.
Gao Shun had learned from the documents sent by Xi Long earlier that Xu Shu was capable. It is said in the Xilong book that Xu Shu is a genius of the world, not only is he strategic, but also familiar with the art of war, and he is also good at using soldiers to arrange formations. This time, there is this person in the state, and you can rest easy.
Gao Shun's majestic tiger eyes looked at Xu Shu with infinite hope and asked respectfully.
"Right now, Xiahou Yuan, the general of the Cao thief, has gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhou, and at any time he will cross the border of the two states and send troops to march into the state, I don't know if the military division can have a plan to deal with it?"
Xu Shu's expression was flat, not in a hurry, he looked at Gao Shun with four eyes, and said softly.
"Do you dare to ask for a look at the map of Taiyuan?"
Gao Shun was slightly startled when he heard this, Zhang Xiu, Pei Yuanshao and other generals also frowned, this map is confidential, Xu Shu is not yet a minister of the Wen family, if he has evil intentions, remember the content when viewing the map, and then make a picture dedicated to Cao Jun. Then Taiyuan County will suffer a great disaster!
When Zhang Xiu, Pei Yuanshao and others were about to reprimand, Gao Shun was sure and ordered to present a map of Taiyuan left and right.
"General Gao! This map is a secret that no one can !! ”
Zhang Xiu got up angrily, and before he finished speaking, Gao Shun's face was firm, and he interrupted.
"Sir is a man sent by the Divine Wisdom Hou, although he temporarily occupies the position of military advisor, but he is actually sent by the Divine Wisdom Candidate, and he is a member of our army. General Zhang Hugh was suspicious. ”
Zhang Xiu listened to the words and looked at Gao Shun for a while. In Gao Shun's frank eyes, Zhang Xiu seemed to understand something, and then apologized to Xu Shu. Xu Shu quickly got up and returned the salute, secretly admiring Gao Shun's broadness in his heart.
After a while, the two soldiers presented the map of Taiyuan, Xu Shu's eyes shimmered, looking at the map unfolding on the shore, and watched in a condensed voice. The entire lobby gradually fell silent. Everyone has no background, so as not to disturb Xu Shu's thoughts.
About half an hour passed, Xu Shu showed a slight smile on his face, got up and bowed to Gao Shun, and said in a condensed voice.
"I have a good plan, but I am afraid that I will not listen to my orders."
Gao Shun's tiger stared, and then looked at Xu Shu, who looked at each other calmly. Then Gao Shun suddenly made another decision that surprised everyone.
"I can give the military advisor a sword seal, and if anyone doesn't listen to your orders, he will be killed with a sword!"
When Pei Yuanshao heard this, he immediately wanted to attack, but Zhang Xiu, who was sitting next to him, held him down and signaled with his eyes. Pei Yuanshao gritted his teeth and stopped attacking for the time being. At this time, Xu Shu was a little surprised, and secretly said No wonder Wen Han would hand over the big state to Gao Shun, just with this person's bearing, he can see his extraordinary.
As for the reason why Gao Shun is so relieved, firstly, it is because Xilong has a very high evaluation of Xu Shu, and secondly, Xilong also said that this Xu Shu is a filial son, and now his mother and younger brother are in Hedong. Gao Shun was not afraid that Xu Shu would fornicate with Cao Jun.
So Gao Shun handed over the sword seal to Xu Shu, Xu Shu took the sword seal, then got up and stepped into the hall, and called on the generals to listen to the order. Pei Yuanshao's face was very angry, and Zhang Xiu whispered in his ear.
"General Pei, I'll wait for the order to go and see how he dispatches. If it's not appropriate, we'll discuss it privately with General Gao. ”
Pei Yuanshao was one of the first to follow Wen Han, and his reputation in the army was so high that he could rank within ten people. Even Gao Shun has a lot of respect for him. However, Pei Yuanshao is not a person who is proud of his achievements, so he immediately suppressed his anger first, attended with Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er and others, and came to the front of the hall to receive orders.
Xu Shu's eyes shimmered, exuding the momentum of wisdom and wisdom, and he said in a condensed voice.
Twenty miles away from Taiyuan, there is a mountain on the left, named Anshan, and there is a forest on the right, called Binlin. These two places can be used to ambush military horses. General Zhang can lead 3,000 troops to Anshan to ambush, wait for the other army to arrive, let go of the enemy, his baggage grain and grass, will be behind, when you wait for the opportunity to move, when the time is right, you can attack in column, and burn its grain and grass. Grain and grass are the lifeblood of the army, if it is burned, the Cao army will inevitably be in turmoil, and General Zhang's responsibility is very important, and there must be no loss! ”
"Whoa!"
Zhang Xiu heard this, and as soon as he drank it, he received the order. Immediately, Xu Shu said again.
"General Pei can lead 3,000 troops to ambush in the valley behind Binlin, just look at the fire on the left, and then he can attack, kill the front army of Cao's army, and take advantage of the situation to rush and kill. Cao's army will inevitably be in chaos, so it can also buy time for General Zhang and destroy the food of his army. If Cao's army loses all food and grass, it will naturally be unable to merge with the state and withdraw the army back. In an instant, General Gao can wave his army to cover up and defeat him. ”
Pei Yuanshao listened, but he frowned and asked suspiciously.
"That Xiahou Yuan is a famous general of the Cao clan, and he has always been cautious in his marches, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy to be tricked! If it is discovered at that time, the other army will plan it, but I am afraid that our army will be annihilated! ”
Regarding Pei Yuanshao's questioning, Xu Shu said with a smile.
"Huh. General Pei's words are reasonable. But I have already made up my mind. He also asked General Hu to lead an army as the front and go to resist the other army first, if Xiahou Yuan sent a general to fight, don't win, just lose. General Hu retreated all the way, and General Gao brought in an army as a backup, just in case. Each must act according to his plan, and do not make mistakes. Naturally, it will be a success! ”
Pei Yuanshao listened to Xu Shu's arrangement, but he was still angry in his heart, and asked out loud.
"We all went out to meet the enemy, but what did the untried military division do?"
"I'll just sit in the county town and wait for the generals to return victorious!" When Pei Yuanshao heard this, he was furious, and laughed angrily.
"We're all going to fight, but you're sitting at home, so comfortable!"
Xu Shu's face changed, and he raised his sword mark and shouted loudly.
"The sword mark is here, and the violator will be killed!"
"Xu Yuanzhi, you dare to !!!"
Pei Yuanshao was so angry that his chest rose and fell, and he was about to have a seizure. Seeing this, Gao Shun hurriedly said out loud.
"Don't you hear that in the midst of strategizing, you will win a victory thousands of miles away? The strategy of the military advisor is wonderful, General Pei must not disobey the order and miss the big thing! Pei Yuanshao gritted his teeth, and now the entire northwest is being watched by people, and in the midst of danger, Pei Yuanshao knows that if he wants to solve the difficulty of merging states, he can only rely on Xu Shu's wisdom. Pei Yuanshao listened to the words, gave up his hand to apologize, and apologized to Xu Shu. Xu Shu bowed his head slightly and returned the salute.
Then the generals retreated, and Hu Che'er comforted Pei Yuanshao in his ear.
"General Pei doesn't have to be annoyed, I shouldn't wait and see what he should do, but it's not too late to ask him at that time!"
Pei Yuanshao nodded when he heard this, and glanced at Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er, each with uneasiness and doubt in their eyes. All the generals don't know Xu Shutao's strategy, and although they are listening to the order, they are all confused.
Xu Shu saw that the generals retreated, turned around and said to Gao Shun.
"General Gao can lead troops to settle in Taiyuan today. In the evening of the coming day, Cao's army will arrive, and General Gao will abandon the camp and leave, but when he sees the fire, he will return to the army to cover up and kill. Taiyuan is guarded by Shu here, just in case, General Gao does not have to worry. ”
Xu Shu then ordered the left and right to prepare a celebratory feast and arrange for the merit book to be served. The allocation has been completed, and Gao Shun is also a little uncertain.
However, it was said that Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin led troops to the Taiyuan realm, divided half of the elite soldiers into the front team, and the rest went to protect the grain truck. The 50,000 Cao army wandered between heaven and earth like a long dragon. Xiahou Yuan marched cautiously, and with Xun Yu by his side, he would send scouts to explore everywhere. When Xiahou Yuan was about to arrive twenty miles away from Taiyuan City, suddenly there was a lot of wind and dust ahead, and a little more than 5,000 soldiers and horses rushed to kill. The leader of the general, holding two sledgehammers, is Hu Che'er.
Hu Che'er glared at the evil eyes as big as copper bells, and shouted angrily before leaving the horse formation.
"My military marquis and Prime Minister Cao Cheng have always been river water and do not interfere with well water, this time you sent troops to invade the border of our state, what do you want!?
Xiahou Yuan squinted his eyes, and immediately rushed out with his gun and horse, and came to the front of the battle to shout.
"Wen Bufan despises the imperial court, has no monarch, and is a thief! Although the prime minister has made friends with the military marquis and even friends, the emperor's order cannot be violated. Therefore, send us to send troops to exterminate it! You are all ministers of the Han Dynasty, why do you want to help thieves to abuse!! If you are willing to dismount and surrender, I can intercede with the prime minister and spare you from the sin!" ”
"Ridiculous! My lord pays tribute every year, and the court orders never disobey! On the contrary, Prime Minister Cao Cheng controlled the society, used the world as a puppet, and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and everyone in the world knew it! As far as I can see, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is a traitor in troubled times! Now I will see my lord badly wounded, and he will devour and take away the land of the northwest of me!! ”
Xiahou Yuan was furious when he heard this, he respected Cao Cao the most in his life, and he couldn't tolerate others to say something no. As soon as Hu Che'er's words fell, Xiahou Yuan was stunned, roared loudly, and immediately rode his horse to kill. Hu Che'er was not afraid, and carried a double hammer to meet him. The two horses rushed to each other, Xiahou Yuan killed in anger, and the attack was fierce. Hu Che'er was born with divine power, and he waved his double hammer to resist, but he resisted Xiahou Yuan's onslaught. After the two killed more than a dozen times, Hu Che'er was slightly inferior, and his moves gradually became messy. Xiahou Yuan immediately stepped up his offensive and wanted to kill Hu Che'er. Hu Che'er shouted, and the hammers came out together, and they smashed Xiahou Yuan's guns. With a loud bang, Xiahou Yuan's color changed slightly, and when he was about to attack again, Hu Che'er had already taken the opportunity to escape on horseback.
Xiahou Yuan was furious and chased after him. Xun You hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go out and kill. Hu Che'er led Xiahou Yuan and his front soldiers and horses all the way, and just arrived at a junction, a cannon burst out. Gao Shun led the army to fight and fight. Xiahou Yuan was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to be on guard. Hu Che'er turned around to kill Xiahou Yuan, and Gao Shun rode a horse to help in the battle. Xiahou Yuan was in danger, holding a gun and immediately fighting the two generals, while the soldiers on both sides were killed.
The war was tight, Xun You's heart suddenly jumped, and he secretly thought that the soldiers and horses in the front of the army were chasing this Hu Che all the way, far away from the rear soldiers and horses, and at this time they were entangled by Gao Shun's soldiers and horses!!
After Xun You finished thinking about it, he immediately ordered Xia Houen to lead a group of soldiers and horses to rush back to the rear of the soldiers and horses.
